The present experiment was conducted to study the effect of feeding Moringa oleifera meal by replacing compound concentrate mixture in Total Mixed Ration (TMR), on physiological and haemato-biochemical profile of twenty-four Surti kids. The kids were divided into four treatment groups viz., 0% (T1), 25% (T2), 50% (T3) and 100% (T4). The average respiration rates, heart rates and rectal temperature in T1, T2, T3 and T4 were found to be 38.44±2.65, 38.22±2.66, 37.56±2.32 and 40.44±2.69 breaths/min, 111.11±3.11, 112.44±3.00, 111.33±3.38 and 119.78±3.13 beats/min, and 101.66±0.11, 101.77±0.08, 101.82±0.12 and 101.45±0.11 °F, respectively. Amongst haemato-biochemical parameters, haemoglobin, serum total protein, glucose, cholesterol, SGPT, SGOT, Calcium and Phosphorus showed non-significant difference, while serum urea and creatinine differed significantly (p<0.05) between different groups. However, values of all the haemato-biochemical parameters were within normal physiological range in all the treatment groups.
